Geek.com Infects Visitors with Malware

[Jack]

Security researchers from cloud security provider Zscaler warn that technology website geek.com was compromised and many of its pages are executing drive-by download attacks against visitors.

Geek.com is one of the oldest technology news websites around, dating back to 1996, the dawn of the commercial World Wide Web.

Attackers have managed to inject rogue IFrames into different portions of the site, both within articles and the site's main pages like home, about us, etc.

According to Umesh Wanve, a senior security research engineer at Zscaler, there are multiple infections and the iframes take visitors to different malicious websites.
